For years, trivia buffs thought the world's largest island-in-a-lake-on-an-island-in-a-lake-on-an-island was a tiny island in a crater lake on Volcano Island in Lake Taal on the Philippine island of Luzon.

Taal Lake is also home to one of the world's rarest sea snakes, Hydrophis semperi. This particular species is only one of two "true" sea snake species that are known to live entirely in freshwater(the other is Laticauda crockeri from the Solomon Islands). Bull sharks, Carcharhinus leucas, used to be part of the lake's once-diverse ecosystem, but they were exterminated by the locals in the 1930s.

The Territory of Christmas Island is a territory of Australia in the Indian Ocean.

It has a population of 2,072 residents who live in a number of "Settlement areas" on the northern tip of the island: Flying Fish Cove(also known as Kampong), Silver City, Poon Saan, and Drumsite.

The majority of the population is Chinese Australian. It is called Christmas Island because it was discovered on Christmas Day.

In 2001, increasing numbers of people attempted to travel to Australia by boat in order to seek Refugee status. Many of these arrived off Christmas Island. An incident known as "The Tampa Affair" caused quite an issue there.

So, the plug here...lol...is just to remind folx I do sell terrains, for cheap, which I am told are very nice, and I am willing to come in and make it simple for you by uploading it personally...and we can work out the payment arrangements in private, and in all sorts of ways.

Money is not really my angle which is why I sell them so inexpensively...and also why I give many away. The only reason I trade in a grid's currency is to keep my own time in them free as I cannot afford to spend money in all this, other than my internet access...lol....

Serenity is a semi-enclosed style terrain. It rises up to 195 meters with tiered ledges where homes or temples or little cuddle places could be added.

If you get creative with the ground textures you could really add an artists eye to it. I added some snow to the peaks and a variety of lower level textures.

There are 3 water sections inside and could have waterfalls come down them for a wonderful look and feel. And there are a couple of nice outside flattish areas for those who wish to add sunrise or sunset open constructs. There is a nice large flat area inside for some kind of main home or pub or temple...re-imagine it, that's the fun of it all.

This terrain offers a lot of variety and if you do not get it now, it may be gone tomorrow!! Keep in mind you can turn terrains using your OpenSim console. The command is terrain flip x=90 | y=90 and experiment with changing the parameters to get what you want such as terrain flip x=45. [perhaps Kitely can add this option in settings somehow, but, AFTER ENABLING HG!!]

I offer several options to pay and once you buy it, you DO own it but please do not resell as-is and these are not for sale to non hypergated grids other than for personal non-commercial uses or in Kitely since it will enable HG soon.
